Almost finished! Tomorrow I will refine just a few more areas. The photo is yicky, sorry, the painting is very wet. The scan is always the best representation of the finished piece, I won’t be able to do that until Sunday night/Monday morning.

Another work in progress, I’m close to finishing this one up now. This is the underpainting, now everything I do will be to enhance, clarify, deepen and lighten the piece. Unless, of course, I notice more perspective issues. This has definitely been a challenging piece, very much a learning experience.

This is the new piece I’ve been working on, it’s finally ready for show and tell as a work in progress. This is a custom portrait – the setting of which is based completely on the fond memory of a woman about her her father. After composing the setting and pulling elements from several very old photographs, a bit of background here, a side pose there, the smile of her father, I merged all of it together and created this scene that (hopefully) matches her memories of sitting in front of the fire talking to her dad when she was a teenager.

This is the third fourth revised sketch on canvas, ready for paint. There will be a soft glow about the room, which I’m really looking forward to painting. I’ll start the underpainting this afternoon and get work in progress shots up for you to see as I go.

Here’s the current status on this portrait, I will probably look back & forth between works in progress more than any of you guys, I already see a couple of minor little things about John that I’d like to enhance a little more (particularly the shadows around his face into his hairline). I’ll be working on Ella through the evening and may not finish until tomorrow now. I’ll update with another progress shot later on tonight.
